Notice that the meaning connoted by this function of al-is indefinite, which is in stark contrast with the primary function of the definite article. Because of this meaning, the noun following al-will be grammatically indefinite and one may, for example, modify the noun without the use of a relative pronoun.n modern Arabic, however, this type of al-is largely idiomatic. That is to say, names traditionally prefixed with al-are kept as such and names without al-are also kept as such; the connotation of this al-is ignored.
